Did you know

The pastel pink staircase leading up to the bar was painted by artist Simon Whybray in 2016 and has become one of the most photographed spots in the building.

Local tip

It only opens for a few months each year (roughly mid-May to mid-September, Wednesday to Sunday) and takes no reservations, so arrive early on a warm evening to get a spot before sunset; it's card only, no cash.
